The rain is making it difficult for us to make much progress- one day of work, then rain. On Monday, we had trucks and workers laying the trench and installing the well pump (and temp. service- we will have water we can use, as soon as the chlorine "shock treatment" washes out). Then a day of rain and very, very cold. Today we made some progress on the joists, thanks to Bill Hoyt, our wonderful brother in law. As soon as the weather allows (and I don't like the forecast for the next few days!!!) we will try to finish the joists: 7 down, 22 to go!
The whole process is a lesson in letting go of our sense of urgency- we keep saying we have to be insulated and able to move at least ourselves and our essentials in by the end of September- we still should be able to accomplish this, but if the wet keeps up, it will be a challenge!
We've enjoyed our visitors who stop by- feel free to come take a look, keep us company, and maybe even swing a hammer!
Hi Allison and Hunt -
ReplyDeleteI was reading an e-mail from a friend in El Granada yesterday and came across this quote.
In reading your blog today - I'll pass it on to you:
"Life isn't waiting for the storm to end...
It's about learning to dance in the rain" (unknown)
I will try to come dance in the rain with you guys soon.
Remembering some old stuff about being and becoming -- can you do both now? Wonderful to see progress from this distance!
